Today's mill tour began with a workout for our arm muscles. 💪😉

9! We visited mills today. I won't name them all. Where there were descriptions, I took photos of them. There were also many other things to see. The entire route, the beautiful little villages with their pretty farms and, above all, the landscape, thrilled us.
